If the argument provided to pidfile(3) contains a '/', then the value is
considered to be an absolute/relative path and the pid file is created
in the given location.
Otherwise, pidfile(3) behaves as before and treats the provided value as
a basename to construct a pid file in /var/run/<basename>.pid. This means
that to create a pid file named "foo.pid" in the current directory, one
must specify "./foo.pid".
- Make the pidfile name generation functions return their value as a return
value, not an output pointer. And homogenize these into a single function.
- Free allocated memory. Not truly necessary because the test cases die
immediately anyway, but nice to do.
- Remove the pidfile__ prefix from test case names. (This was in advance of
some changes I want to propose to pidfile(3), but it turns out my approach
was flawed. Preemptive smartness is evil!)
